The Secrets of Glen Garage

“The Secrets of Glen Garage” is authored by David Zsido. Due to his interest in antique cares, he eventually explores an old wooden frame garage, the original Glen Garage and a larger former barn which became the home of Glen Garage.

Once on the the premises he found physical remains of the business, operated and owned by Sidney Butterfield in the 1920s. Everything preserved, he discovered a treasure trove of items of interest including tools, headlights, newspapers, all left frozen in time. As a result of his discoveries the Butterfield family donated all these items to the Historical Society.

Adding interest to the story are a number of photographs including one of a 1926 Studebaker roadster taken in the 1940s.
